Team Teachers in Japan

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This book offers a stunning collection of research, reflections, and recommendations to do with team teaching in the Japanese context. Carefully curated by Hiratsuka, the original studies focus on the inner worlds of the teachers' relationships as well as their beliefs, emotions and identities in their places of work. They are informative and interesting, all with the potential to inspire a growth mindset for teachers, teacher educators, and researchers. These are real stories of lived experiences, and although they may unfold in Japan, they are of global significance."

"This fascinating book provides valuable insights into the professional and personal lives of teachers' team teaching in Japan. This focus allows empirical detail of experiences, beliefs, identity, and positioning in team-teaching practices in Japan, as well as cognitive, ideological, and affective perspectives. This important contribution also offers a roadmap for future team-teaching endeavors."

"This book brings together practitioners of team teaching in English classrooms in Japan to critically explore how foreign assistant language teachers and Japanese language teachers perceive, reflect on, and practice team teaching. The 14 chapters reporting empirical studies included in this book provide a vivid account of how team teaching is practised in Japan. This book will be of real benefit to researchers and teachers involved not just in English language teaching in Japan but also worldwide."
